Then continue similar picking style through the verse without the hammer-ons

D
I will write you letters that
G                   D
Explain the way I'm thinking now

I will return to you
G                 D
What I have taken long before

I will return again
G                     D
When it gets dark and day is done

Chorus:
A          D
And lay me down
A               D
In the hallowed ground
A            D           A
Down by your side I will stay
          D*        A#-5
So lay me down

(Note: D* - play like intro)

D
And if you wanna stay with me
G                D
Then let me know before it's light

I will recoil myself
G                  D
Into the black and darkest night


A          D
And lay me down
A               D
In the hallowed ground
A                     D            A
Where my (fore)father waits I will stay
          D*        A#-5
So lay me down


A          D
And lay me down
A               D
In the hallowed ground
A            D           A
Down by your side I will stay
          D*
So lay me down
